Space saver!
Bought this bike holder to save some space in the house. Works perfectly and although there is no front wheel holder, my bike is always steady. Happy with the purchase
Upright bike stand
I think that the bike stand is well made and the design is simple but effective. It was easy to assemble. However, I used an electric screwdriver and socket to assemble it which made it a lot easier. I also used a longer bolt to fix the pro attachment which gave a tighter grip around the pannier. I like the stand and it holds a heavy electric bike with no problem.
Good for saving space at home
A bit mixed feeling with the assembling instructions as they made a mistake and had to add a separate note/paper to address it. Otherwise easy to assemble and setup for your bikes height. Very convenient for a cheap space saving indoors. I would not try to use it outdoors.
Space saving but can be a little unsturdy
Space saving but can be a little unsturdy, Ok to assemble, they can topple over when you are trying to fit the bike to the stand. I secured mine to the shed floor, now OK.
I decided to get this set because of the reviews that mentioned the stability and the quality of the material.
It does seem and feel like the materials are good quality.
It was not hard to assemble but not too easy.
I think it’s worth the price and would recommend to get this.
I tried pushing the bike around a bit while it’s installed and they stayed on easily.
I do however think this rack fits better at a corner of a room, which isn’t exactly my case, but it still saves a ton of space.
I recently bought this high-quality bike stand, and I’m quite pleased with it. The assembly process was straightforward, and it came with all the necessary tools, making it a hassle-free experience. Now, I can easily and quickly park my bike. I use the provided Velcro strap to secure the front wheel, and I’ve added an additional Velcro strap myself to firmly hold the bike frame in place alongside the bike stand. This setup ensures my bike is stable and well-maintained.
Small space lifesave
This item does as is stated on the package and is ideal for a person residing in a small apartment with limited space (like myself). But do bare in mind that this item is wider than expected and is a little fiddly to assemble and place your bike in the correct position – my bike is on the heavier side, therefore when I used the strap provided to stabilise my bike it still moved side to side, so I had to use additional rope to fully secure my bike. If you have a light(er) you may not have to use addional straps/rope like I had to.
The cost is on the higher side but the metal is of good, heavy quality which is expected when you want your bike held in a vertical position and in place. Overall I am happy with the product and would highly recommend it.
A little bit wobbly
Despite following the instructions the screws on the bottom are slightly proud of the rubber feet so there is a slight rock to the finished article. Still works fine though and releases a deal of storage space in my shed
We bought two of these for my son’s bikes. He has a dirt jump bike with 26″ wheels and a full-suspension mountain bike with 27.5″ wheels (Calibre Triple B, 2020, small frame). The recommended way to store a bike vertically on the Nook is to have the seat post resting on the upright of the Nook with the saddle behind it. However, the seat post on the dirt jump bike is short and doesn’t have a quick release adjustment; storing it the recommended way would mean adjusting the seat post every time, which is just not practical. So, for the dirt jump bike I have rigged up some simple strapping that keeps the bike safe. The problem with storing the mountain bike is that the velcro strap that is supposed to hold the front wheel upright is too short (for this MTB’s small frame); so again a tie-down strap with a friction grip has come to the rescue. So, just be aware, you may need to come up with a ‘hack’ to make it work for you, depending on the nature of your bike.
Having said that, they are fairly straightforward to put together and they do mean that you can regain lots of space wherever you store your bike(s). I would recommend.
I use my bike, if not every day, very frequently. And I store it inside the house.
This stand is an elegant solution to a common need. It’s super easy to assemble, and putting the bike on is just, push, lift, and secure the handlebar.
I got the version suitable for mud guards, my recommendation is to get this one instead the cheapest one. It’s not much more expensive and compatible with bikes without mud guards too. The only difference is that this version comes with two adjustable, to prevent the bike tilting over on the side, which is handy especially your bike is loaded and heavy. It could be a useful feature even without mud guards on the bike.
The only imperfection is the quality of the front wheel strap – it is very rough and hard, and stains the bike! So either swap it with something soft or add a protection layer between the strap and the bike frame.
Despite the imperfection, I still recommend this stand.
With a bit of adjustment works perfectly
I live in a studio apartment so space is precious and keeping my bike inside is necessary- thus a bike stand. I’m no expert on bikes so couldn’t tell you my bike specific aside from I’ve got a rack on the back and it’s a fairly standard hybrid/townbike. The pro stand gives enough room for the rack (I’ve tried the standard and the pro) with a bit of careful placement involving keeping the wheel further forward on the base of the ‘L’. Easy assembly and only a little wobbly. Overall pretty pleased.
Was easy to assemble and took 5-10 minutes using just the picture diagram (the booklet contains more detailed instructions if required).
It feels secure once built and the rubber feet prevent it from moving on the floor.
Mine is holding up a heavy mountain bike and once I got the bike properly on (have to make sure the wheel is properly in it) then it balanced fine. My only gripe is the strap. The Velcro isn’t the easiest to get tight and if not tight enough the front wheel will tilt and make the whole thing appear less stable. A strap with a buckle that could be pulled tight would be better.
Reasonably easy to put together, but I’d recommend using your own allen key as the supplied one is so soft it’s useless.
I have a bike with a pannier rack so I went with the ‘Pro’ version, this add-on is useless as supplied.
The bike is stable enough without the additional arms, and it appears to be impossible to get them tight enough to stay in position, so as soon as you catch them with the rack they just move, so they offer no additional stability (not that it needs any).
The supplied Velcro strip used to hold the front tyre in place is badly designed as you have to wrap it over itself, adding a buckle that allows you to fold it back on itself and get the correct tension would have been a much better option.
Overall it does the job well, the bike is stable, but just stick with the standard version.
Handy solutio
Bought this stand to free up floor space in a small room. I’ve used it for a drop bar gravel bike, and it works pretty well for this. I was a bit concerned that my cat (who likes rubbing against my bikes) would somehow manage to topple it, but a month or so in and it’s remained steadfastly upright. Like the old TV ad: the bike wobbles a bit but doesn’t fall down…
I think it could benefit from some way of fixing the bike to the stand – e.g. a rubber strap that goes round the seat post where it rests on the stand, or around the back wheel – for an extra bit of reassurance. But it’s doing the job I needed it to, and it’s lightweight with a small footprint, so that’s a minor point.
Well built and holds bikes well
I ordered 3 of these in total and all have been well built. They hold my bikes (all 700c wheels with tyre thicknesses ranging from 25mm to 35mm) securely and save a huge amount of space in my living room. Two out of the three stands were extremely easy to assemble – the last had an instructional sticker that helps you align the parts stuck on the wrong way round which meant all of the screw holes were a few millimetres off and made assembly impossible until I reliased the sticker error. It is well built and will likely last a long time but I still believe it to be a expensive (I paid 40 each) given that it is only a few small peices of steel.
This is reasonably good and for the price I can’t grumble at all. It works on my teens mountain bike. That said, the wheels are 24″, and quite thick mountain bike style. The unit seems to grip the wheel underneath when in horizontal/normal position but in the virtical position it doesnt seem to grip it and allows the bike to wobble side to side. The upright post where the sadle pole rests on was a bit of a hassle to get the right height. It was too high then too low. Even at the right height, because my teen has the seat as far down ad it can go, the pole doesn’t rest fully in place. The clamp that tightens around the seat pole rests in there and it is not a round shape. So it wobbles there too. That said, we have given the bike a push or two and it may very well wobble but it didn’t fall over.we gave it a reasonable ‘oops a blind in one eye teen will probably walk into the handlebar that sticks out a bit’ kind of push and it still didn’t fall completely over.
Some tips….. we found that putting the front wheel strap on before lifting the bike up is best.
We also found that allowing some slack means that when upright the front wheel strap can be slid up towards the handle bard while resting shoulder on the front wheel so you can adjust how tight you want it is good.
We also found that the front wheel pointing stright up is actually less stable than a slight turn… not a big turn! We turn the wheel slightly towards the wall. It also moves the handle bar upwards slightly which may be useful, depending on how tall people walking past it are.
We also found that having the wheel/bottom/single end part on the T shaped angled towards the wheel a bit also helped with taking up less toom and we could place something, in our case the ool filled radiator stored there prior to the bike stand placement, in front which may help stop people walking too close and hitting the peddle or handle bar..
Easy to used, great space save
This arrived and it was extremely easy to put together. It came with some basic assembly instructions and a second more in-depth set.
I do have to remove my tool/carry bag that is under my seat but that is easy enough.
I live in a flat so this is a great space-saving idea. Plus there are no fixings to I don’t need to damage any walls. I can also pop it in my car when I visit my Dad’s and I can store my bike in his house when visiting without getting mud on his carpets etc.
It is a little unsteady and I wouldn’t want to knock the bike or catch it with my elbow as it might list to the side and fall over but it’s in the corner so this shouldn’t happen.
